Abstract

This climate crisis has affected various aspects of people's lives, especially in coastal areas, rural  areas,  and  indigenous  communities  in  Eastern  Indonesia.  The  impacts  are  not  only environmental degradation, but also exacerbate gender inequality, increase socio-economic vulnerability,  and trigger the risk of gender-based violence (GBV). Women in these areas are  often  at  the  forefront  of  emergency  response,  utilizing  locally  inherited  knowledge  to maintain food security, household economies, and ecosystem sustainability. Practices such as food diversification, backyard gardening, mangrove conservation, meti-meti in the Bajau community,  and  balobe  techniques  in  Papua  reflect  the  strategic  role  of  women  in community-based adaptation. Findings show that women-led adaptation strategies are not only  reactive,  but  also  proactive  in  anticipating  climate  risks  and  reducing  community vulnerability.  However,  these  contributions  are  often  marginalized  in  formal  policies. Therefore, integrating gender perspectives and recognizing women's local knowledge is key to strengthening community resilience to climate crises in a sustainable manner.
